The Athletics optioned Noda to Double-A Midland on Sunday.

With the Triple-A season ending Sunday, Noda will go to the Athletics' affiliate in Midland, which is in the Double-A playoffs. Noda appeared in five games for the Athletics since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sept. 10, going 1-for-8 with one run scored and two walks over that span.

Busch went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Sundays' 5-0 win over the Nationals.

Busch entered Sunday 0-for-11 over his last four games. He snapped the slump with a pair of extra-base hits, including a fourth-inning solo shot that gave the Cubs a 3-0 lead. He's been a bit streaky this year, but Busch has been able to put up decent power numbers with 21 homers, 65 RBI and a .448 slugging percentage. He's added 28 doubles, two stolen bases, 72 runs scored and a .252 batting average over 147 contests, mostly in a strong-side platoon role.

Soderstrom went 2-for-2 with a double, two RBI, two walks and one run scored in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Yankees.

Soderstrom logged multiple hits for the third time in his last four games, and he also drew a walk for the first time since he returned from a wrist injury. He's held down more than a strong-side platoon at first base since his return, though he's not in the lineup versus every southpaw. Soderstrom is slashing .229/.314/.416 with eight home runs, 24 RBI, 16 runs scored and two doubles over 142 plate appearances as a rookie this season.

Bauers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

The lefty-hitting Bauers will head to the bench for the series finale while southpaw Jordan Montgomery toes the rubber for Arizona. Bauers will cede his spot in the lineup to Gary Sanchez, who serves as the Brewers' starting catcher while William Contreras gets a day off behind the plate to handle designated-hitter duties.

Arraez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

He will get a rare day off against a righty (Sean Burke) as Fernando Tatis takes over at designated hitter, opening up right field for David Peralta. Arraez has gone just 1-for-15 in his last three games after hitting safely in 13 straight contests to begin September.

Turner (knee) will start at first base and bat fifth Sunday against the Rangers.

Turner fouled a ball off his knee Saturday and was forced to leave the game, but apparently it's not bad enough to cost him a start. As he approaches his 40th birthday in November, Turner's MLB future is uncertain, but he's shown signs of life with a .303/.398/.494 batting line and four homers in his last 26 games for Seattle.

Walker is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Josh Bell will start at first base against right-hander Frankie Montas as Walker sits after going 1-for-13 across the first three games of the series. Walker was hot initially after coming off the injured list in early September, and he's still batting cleanup most days for Arizona.

Gallo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Gallo will ride the pine with a lefty (Shota Imanaga) starting for the opposition, which is standard procedure whenever the Nationals face a southpaw. The 30-year-old Gallo has logged just 60 plate appearances against lefties this season, slashing .123/.167/.246.

Kavadas is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Astros, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

The Astros are sending righty Spencer Arrighetti to the bump, but the left-handed-hitting Kavadas will nonetheless begin the contest on the bench. It's the first time since Sept. 1 that Kavadas will be absent from the lineup against a right-hander. Logan O'Hoppe is getting a start at designated hitter for the Angels while Matt Thaiss does the catching.

Schanuel is not in the lineup for Sunday's contest in Houston, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

It looks to be a routine day of rest for Schanuel, who had started each of the previous 12 games. Brandon Drury will occupy first base for the Angels in the series finale.
